Write a reviewHave stayed at this property 4x now. Always helpful staff, dog-friendly, and just the right size. Close to Ocean but without the price tag. Can’t wait until the hot tub can re-open, but in the meantime the fire pit and pool are open & great places to unwind after hiking or beach.

Visited this property in August before starting the year as a Teacher (couple) -this is the only place my professor husband would allow us to stay since they had sanitation down -and wow, on-site wine tasting! We returned this Spring break 2021-there was no on-site food, no wine tasting. :( Yet, excellent food places close by (always check the DAILY special @ Mtn Mikes) - -and walking across the street to Safeway, SeaHarvest, RGBurgers, or IT tacos was excellent). The pool on Sunday was warm & delightful -swam 30+ min - delighted to be in SUN & by the pool. This is an excellent family hotel -no one's children were unsupervised at pools, all animals on leash. As the 3 days lasted the pool got colder - so who knows. Our room was the first off the elevator and was a tad noisy, but it was relaxing, and we slept great after hiking down to the Carmel beach (<-beautiful white sand+sunny!) We will come back -hopefully the water purifier in the main hotel will be fixed, you get extra steps to use the filter by the Front Desk! But still good filtered water on site!

We had a great stay at the lively Carmel Mission Inn. The staff were exceptionally welcoming and went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed for our stay. Especially Angel in the restaurant. We were headed out on a hike and she saw us sitting by the pool and brought us extra water for our trip. The lovely young gal helped to print some work documents upon my arrival. We loved the location across from a little shopping center with great shops, restaurants and salons, wine tasting etc. close enough to the heart of Carmel by the Sea. The rooms have been recently updated and very nice though because of the flooring (vinyl) the sound from other room travels and can be a little louder. I travel with ear plugs because my husband snores so I was fine. It did not interrupt my enjoyment of this fabulous property.

This wonderfully appointed hotel is conveniently located on the edge of Carmel but steps from hiking and biking paths and many shops, restaurants and and amenities.

We came for a last minute 4th of July visit. We are local to the Bay Area. This hotel has been updated and is super cute. If you’re reading reviews make sure to read recent ones as they did a great job with the remodel here. It is like an old roadside motel that was turned cute.
Pros-
-rooms are updated
-electric car charging (get them early. There are only 3). But they do have them.
-pool and hot tub
-ice machine and water machines for your hiking jugs.
-couple of really cute lounge areas with fire pits
-near grocery store and other places
-super friendly and helpful staff
-they have everything you need if you ask.
Cons-
-not in the downtown area. But it honestly didn’t bother us.
-bed is stiff and slightly uncomfortable
Overall we had a really great stay here and would recommend it. It’s clean, it’s cute and they’re friendly.
